ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] - Defining Variables In A For Loop?
Feb 15, 2005Here's what I've got:
var cColor1:Color = new Color(mcBut1.mcFill);
var cColor2:Color = new Color(mcBut2.mcFill);
var cColor3:Color = new Color(mcBut3.mcFill);
var cColor4:Color = new Color(mcBut4.mcFill);
var cColor5:Color = new Color(mcBut5.mcFill);
What I'd like to do is write a loop to handle all that code in less code. So, how do I define variables using variables?
Something like:

var cColor+i = new Color(eval("mcBut"+i).mcFill);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Variables - Unique To Load SWFs Instead Of Declaring All The Variables
Mar 21, 2012I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClipLoader And Defining Variables?
Apr 28, 2008using the MovieClipLoader function to load in several images into various actionscript defined movieclips. These movie clips, with images loaded into them, are going to have onRelease functions associated with them which will load in a larger version of the image already loaded. As you can picture, there are a series of thumbnails, and each thumbnail needs to be clickable and load a larger version of itself into an empty clip. However, I can't seem to define variables inside of the MovieClipLoader object as it's not technically a movie clip?
How might I know which larger file to load when one of the thumbnails is clicked? All the files are named all sorts of things, aren't in any particular order (user defined from a drag-n-drog UI)... I thought I was on the right track, until I realized I couldn't define variables within the empty clip holding the thumbnails..
ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Variables In A Function?
Apr 19, 2005Is it possible to define a variable inside of function where the actual variable name will change based on what parameters the function is called with? Take a look at this code:

I am trying to make the net Connection and net Stream object unique each time the function is called because I am trying to play like 5 flv's on stage simultaneously. As far as I know, each video stream needs a unique net Connection and a unique net Stream object. But it doesn't seem to be working.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Defining Variables From A Separate Timeline?
Jan 17, 2011I'm having a strange problem setting variables in movie clips from another (parent timeline). I run the following code from the parent movie clip to target child movie clips it contains.
setVars = function (clip, value) {
clip.val1 = value;
clip.val2 = 0;
[Code].....
I am trying to set variables in a movie clip targetted by the 'clip' argument in the setVars function but they are being traced as undefined. However, setting the function works fine. I have also tried manually defining the variables in the movie clip and am still unable to change them externally from the setVars Function.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Defining Variables From Parent In Child

ActionScript 2.0 :: (Flash CS3) Defining Variables To Different Buttons?
Nov 24, 2010I'm trying to assign actions to various buttons for a website I am building, however I would also like to play a little movie first each time before linking to their individual different frames. The movie is the same for each button but then, obviously each button ultimately needs to link to a different frame. I'm guessing a nifty mix of gotoandPlay and variables are the answer but I'm getting myself in knots.
The structure of the site is as follows.On the main stage I currently have 4 frames. Each frame contains a different "page" of the website. The "home" frame has the navigation bar (including a sub-menu movie which has a number of buttons nested inside it which I think is going to be tricky). At the end of the "home" movie, there is a little fade animation which is labeled/ red flagged on the timeline - and it's this little animation I would like to have playing when a button is clicked on before linking to another frame.
At the moment the best I can manage is that when the button is clicked it goes back to the beginning of it's movie (a problem with the target paths perhaps?) as opposed to a label within the parent movie.I also think where I'm getting confused is exactly where I am supposed to define all the various variables and pieces of actionscript. The little snippits of code I have are as follows: Within the button I am trying to link, so far I have:
on(release){
_level0.frame_to_goto = "artwork";
play();
}
The "artwork" tag is the frame specific to that button (this is one of the sub-buttons that is nested within a submenu movie).Then in the movie for the webpage I have the following in the last frame of the mini animation that I want to play before the button links to the artwork frame:
stop();
if(_level0.frame_to_goto != undefined){
_level0.gotoAndPlay(_level0.frame_to_goto);
}else{
trace("An error as occured!");
}
ActionScript 1/2 :: Defining Actions For Buttons Inside A For Loop?
Jan 8, 2011I got a set of buttons and a text field where they load the content.I'm trying to not make one zillion functions and keep the code neat so i guessed i would try set the buttons' actions within the loop too. I firstly had some problems getting the i counter inside the onRelease function (actually I don't think i ever got how to do it). But I tried this and worked:
stop();var comprarXML = new XML();comprarXML.ignoreWhite = true;comprarXML.load('flash/comprar.xml');comprarXML.onLoad = checkLoading; function checkLoading(success) { rootNode = comprarXML.firstChild; ButtonReleaseAndContent ();} function ButtonReleaseAndContent (){ for (i=0;i<12;i++){ // my buttons are not generated dynamicly, that why the count. btTemp =
[code]....
At the line where I set the text, I had a though " I may have to refer from within the button mc, since the generated code goes inside it!". So i tried the this.temp , guessing that this would be equal to the button level. A few seconds later i noticed my referencing for the text field wasn't coming from within the button, but from the root.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Defining Values Of Variables For Classes, Subclasses, And Instances?
Jan 5, 2010how subclasses,instances,and inheritance work. The below code isn't actual project code, it's theoretical code, generalized to a simplistic level so that we can talk about the big issues.Let's say I have animals_app.fla, with a "Dog" class MC and a "Cat" class MC. Both "Dog" and "Cat" are subclasses of "Animals"; animals_app.fla uses document class "Main".
Intuitively, I think Animals should declare that every subclass should have some animalSpecies, and each subclass will define the value of its own animalSpecies. It wouldn't make sense for Animals to provide any default value, because it will always be different per subclass. Is this correct? I had tried out some code similar to that below, and was perplexed because it seemed like whenever a subclass tried to define a value for its own animalSpecies variable, it was actually changing the value of the variable in the Animal class, but that's not what I want. How do I rewrite this code so that each subclass defines the values of variables it inherits from its superclass, without altering the superclass? And how would I define the value of variables for each instance of a class, so that I'm only changing the values of that instance, without altering the subclass?
Animals.as
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..........
Also, conventionally, what should be in my Main class? Only the addChild code which attaches MCs to the stage? Or should the values of variables be defined in Main? What am I missing? I recently read Foundation Game Design with Flash and didn't feel like the explanation was sufficient. I've tried scouring the web for OOP tutorials, but they're either too basic or too far over my head.where I should be defining values of variables for classes, subclasses, and instances?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Variables Out Of A For Loop?
Jan 2, 2011i'm trying to use a for loop to generate for me a set of vars, but it's not really working out. =.=.
I'm loading the image file names from a xml, and i want that the for loop create vars like "fotoToLoad0, fotoToLoad1 ..." and load the filename within.
I guessed i had to use the eval command, but as far as my ignorance sees it, when it is used, the eval makes a variable reffer to another and not fill it's value. (I guess i'm wrong thou).
Here's what i've tried so far:
Code:
for (i=0; i< totalNodes; i++){
var fotoEnd = imagesXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.firstChild;
var fotoTemp = eval ('fotoToLoad'+i);
fotoTemp = fotoEnd;
That's quite not working thou =(. If i try used 'fotoToLoad1" for example, in a text box it just returns undefined
ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Variables In A FOR Loop?
Apr 23, 2009I used to dynamically set some variables using a FOR loop kinda like so PHP Code:
//Sorry, from memory
var possibleValues:Array = ["red","green","blue","yellow"];
for (i=0;i<possibleValues._length;i++){
_root["colorNumber"+i] = possibleValues[i];
}
Second question, using that code in a function would set the variables at the root level making them available throughout the timeline. Without "_root" how do I get that variable available to everything?

IDE :: Complex Loop CurrentTarget Variables
Feb 1, 2010i'm trying to create a menu system where each item expands in height when clicked but is then collapsed back to the original state when other items are clicked.m is the height of the expanded state. n is the height of the collapsed state. i is the number tacked on the instance name.Also, I'm using Tweener for smoother transitions. I've done this already by copying out the code but it's 24 items so 24x24 lines of code when I'd like to be able to do it a little more elegantly. Here's roughly what I want to do, but don't know if it's possible:[code]So every box below the one that's been clicked on most recently gets the value of m added to the y value and every box above doesn't.Is it possible to retrieve the value of the variable i that corresponds to the currentTarget?
